Chapter 66; Text

[tentacletrainer]

John's gone home.
John Egbert, I mean.

[You'll need to look at the trainer tag to figure out who this is today. There's no colorful text or snarky horseshit to identify Rose as instantaneously as there would be before. And maybe the reason why is obvious with those first two sentences.]

I've noticed a few of his Pokemon aren't here.
If they've ended up with you, will you please let me know?
They were as much his family as they were mine, so I'd like to know they're safe.
Maybe offer you child support, haha.

[...Oh.

Shaun had been wondering why there was a Blastoise in his PC belonging to someone he'd never met before. The OT didn't sound even remotely familiar.

But hearing that John had gone home...

It felt like he was back on the sidewalk of that busy street.]

I got a Blastoise named Squirt. Is that one of them?

[Consolation will come in a minute once he figures out what to say.]

Yes, he used to be John's.

[Well, that answers that, doesn't it?]

I'll take good care of him. I promise.

I'm sorry. I know it doesn't help and I bet you don't want to hear it anymore but I am.

[...]

Can I do anything to help?
